Book Review: Not A Sound

When a tragic accident
leaves nurse Amelia Winn deaf, she spirals into a depression that
ultimately causes her to lose everything that matters--her job, her
husband, David, and her stepdaughter, Nora. Now, two years later and
with the help of her hearing dog, Stitch, she is finally getting back on
her feet. But when she discovers the body of a fellow nurse in the
dense bush by the river, deep in the woods near her cabin, she is
plunged into a disturbing mystery that could shatter the carefully
reconstructed pieces of her life all over again.

As clues begin
to surface, Amelia finds herself swept into an investigation that hits
all too close to home. But how much is she willing to risk in order to
uncover the truth and bring a killer to justice?

I enjoy the romantic suspense genre and I do have to admit that Ms. Gudenkauf quickly became a must read author. It's well worth checking out her lineup for books. She always adds that little extra touch that makes her books special.

I have imagined losing various senses before but I never realized just how much the loss of one's hearing would really effect a person. Thanks to WITHOUT A SOUND, I now have a glimmer of the sense of isolation and helplessness that it can cause on a good day. Amelia being deaf really adds a sense of terror and that little extra to the story.

I really enjoyed WITHOUT A SOUND. It started out with a bang and the tension never ebbed from there. The characters were well drawn out, the dialogue flowed even when there was a language barrier and the villain was truly immoral. And of course, there was Stitch who was a major part of the story and I can't resist a dog.

I do think that my readers who enjoy romantic suspense will really enjoy this book. There is some violence which might bother some readers but no graphic sex scenes.

*** I received this book at no charge from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed within are my own.
